From pepper soup to spicy turkey and nkwobi, our starters are made to warm you up and wake your taste buds. Whether you’re new to Nigerian food or a lifelong lover of the culture, these dishes are the perfect way to begin.
Pepper Soup – Goat Meat or Catfish
One of the most iconic Nigerian starters, our pepper soup is a rich, aromatic broth seasoned with traditional spices. Choose between tender goat meat or delicate catfish, each simmered until perfectly soft and infused with deep flavor. It’s light, hot, and satisfying — ideal for warming up on a cool day or kicking off your meal with a spicy edge.
Catfish Pepper Soup
If you’re looking for a seafood-based starter, catfish pepper soup offers a lighter but equally flavorful experience. The fish absorbs the spiced broth beautifully, creating a dish that’s both soothing and bold. A great option for those who want a taste of traditional Nigerian cooking with a fresh, clean finish.
Spicy Grilled Turkey
Our spicy grilled turkey is grilled to smoky perfection and tossed in our signature pepper sauce. It’s juicy, fiery, and full of flavor. Served hot and perfectly seasoned, it’s one of our most popular starters — ideal for sharing or keeping all to yourself.
Nkwobi – Goat Leg in Palm Oil Sauce
Nkwobi is a beloved Nigerian delicacy made with soft, seasoned goat leg cooked in a spicy, rich palm oil sauce. This dish is deeply flavorful, with layers of traditional taste in every bite. If you want to explore real Nigerian comfort food, nkwobi is a must-try.
